In English you say, "Make hay while the sun shines." In Thai the equivalent saying literally means, "When water rises, hurry to fetch it."

By learning Thai proverbs and sayings, you will understand the way Thai people think and learn the Thai culture at the same time.

The booklet lists 400 common Thai proverbs and sayings that are understood and often used by and among Thai people. Each entry has an English translation first, then the transliteration, the phrase in the Thai language and finally a literal translation. All entries are recorded on the accompanying CD so you can familiarize yourself by listening to them over and over. Pick the ones you like and start to sprinkle them here and there in your conversations. Your Thai friends will get a kick out of what they hear from a foreigner.

This volume is designed for Thai learners that are at an intermediate or advanced level, but beginners can benefit and learn from this fun program as well.
